The Bomag BW6 is a walk-behind compactor — sometimes called a pedestrian roller — designed to compact soil, gravel, and asphalt on road construction and civil engineering projects. Bomag is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in compaction and road-building equipment, supplying contractors and infrastructure projects worldwide.
This 1988 machine is offered in used condition from the United Kingdom. According to the seller, it is configured as a pad foot roller, meaning its drum surface carries projecting lugs that break up and knead cohesive soils rather than simply pressing them flat, making it particularly suited to clay-rich ground conditions. The unit is towable, allowing it to be transported between sites or manoeuvred in conjunction with other plant without self-propulsion. Vibration is operated by remote control, enabling the operator to manage compaction effort without remaining in direct contact with the machine — a practical feature on confined or hazardous ground.
Power comes from a three-cylinder Deutz engine. Deutz is a recognised manufacturer of air-cooled diesel engines that have been widely used in construction machinery for their durability and serviceability in the field. The machine has been resprayed, suggesting recent cosmetic attention has been carried out.
